There is often one critical element that is overlooked in these constant engagement programs. In America we(police) can constantly engage the community because we all speak the same language
That's a very good point. I wonder how much the language barrier in Afghanistan will bog down law enforcement (by ISAF). I bet it will not only slow things down, but hamper the development of relationships with people in neighborhoods.
So, how does this wonderful framework account for LAPD's response under fire?
Presley,
For a non-American member, what do you refer to? I know LAPD have been accused of being too harsh in the past, e.g. Rodney King, but have seen little on the current situation and especially since Bratton has been Chief of Police.
